About me

Fullpose

Hey! Let me introduce myself👋

I'm Selassie. I recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a BSE in Computer Science and a minor in Economics.

I began my journey into programming in 2016, and immeadiately fell in love with the problem solving aspect of it immeadiately. After 8 years of coding, I have worked on a variety of projects, ranging from simple websites to complex sis.

When I'm not in school or work, you can find watching or playing sports (mainly soccer, football, and tennis), playing poker, or religiously stalking and updating my Letterboxd and Beli.
